Arjun who irrespective of his father is left-arm quick previously had been picked in the Mumbai Under-19 one-day side. That time he played in the JY Lele invitational tournament in September. He had also used his quick swing in the nets that too in the lead-up to the Lord’s Test between England and South Africa in 2017. There he had sent Jonny Bairstow off with an injury scare when he struck him on the toe with a yorker. Arjun also has been seen to be bowled in the India nets during the home series against New Zealand last year.

However, he had a tough luck as he couldn’t find a place in the one-day squad that will play five games against Sri Lanka. The captain of the Four-day squad is the 18-year-old Delhi wicketkeeper-batsman Anuj Rawat, who has played three Ranji Trophy games so far. On the other end, the one-day squad would be led by 16-year-old Uttar Pradesh wicketkeeper-batsman Aryan Juyal. He had also played two matches in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy earlier this year.
